I loved the idea of fudge that tasted like wedding cake and envisioned this beautiful creamy white fudge decorated with sugar flowers. I followed the recipe exactly (and I can make fudge) and the end result was butterscotch colored and very gritty, one of my pet peeves with fudge. I guess the flavor resembled cake but the gritty texture was too overpowering. Won't try this again.
